When you see quite a beautiful girl on the street, which word will you use to describe the beauty of her? In Chinese,we may use these Chinese sayings as Chenyuluoyan or Biyuexiuhua. However, do you know where the sayings are(1) ?
In Chinese ancient history, there(2) four well﹣known beauties named Xishi,Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan and Yang Yuhuan. Here are two(3) about Xishi and Wang Zhaojun.
Xishi lived during the Spring and Autumn period.One day,she(4) to a river to wash silk with her friends.Some fish were swimming in the clear water.When the fish saw Xishi, they swam down to the bottom of the water(5) .The fish were shocked by the beauty of Xishi and felt embarrassed of(6) .
Wang Zhaojun lived during the Han Dynasty. The king of Han wanted to send her to the king of the enemy county as a gift. A few days later,(7) Wang was on the way with a group of guards,something interesting happened.There was a wild goose(8) above the head of Wang Zhaojun.It was so shocked by the beauty of Wang(9) it even forgot to flap wings.Then it fell down heavily into the forest.

On March 31 st,2019,a wildfire in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture(凉山彝族自治州)led to 3l deaths,including 27 firefighters.And on May 1 st,2016,in Alberta,Canada,a wildfire destroyed an area of nearly 700 square miles. More than 88,000 people had to leave their homes and thousands of homes were destroyed.
Wildfires are unexpected,unplanned.And the cause of most wildfires is unsure.To burn,wildfires require the right conditions﹣fuel,oxygen and heat. And global warming is one of the most important reasons.The high temperatures and dry conditions make the fire spread quickly.
In many parts of the world,wildfires happen naturally. They are started by lighting(闪电)or some other special weather conditions.In recent years,there have been more wildfires because of dry,hot weather,and changeable weather patterns because of global warming.
However,many fires are started by people. Sometimes,people clear land for farming. Besides,there are smokers who accidentally set fires.
Wildfires can cause a lot of smoke,which will pollute the air. Lots of lives,property(财产)and valuable forests will soon disappear in wildfires. When trees are burnt down , and heavy rain follows , more disasters such as terrible floods will happen.
